I'm really new, this was only my second upload at FT. Two of my files were denied before I even completed the submission! Is this the norm? Some of the other files have since been denied and others are still waiting.

I'd ask about it in their forum but for whatever reason that's not loading for me.

Any thoughts?

This is very fast!  Usually I have to wait several days to have my images rejected

A few months ago I uploaded a batch and as I was editing them they were being approved! hasn't happened since though.

I know! It would have been a boon actually if I'd  known I could just stop there. Now if they'd just get to it when I'm thinking about taking an unacceptable picture!

they're normally lightning fast to reject my photos but never before I've completed it. Sometimes I have photos there for a couple of days before actually submitting them.

I think it's probably their review process. The reviewers might have already have access to the images before it's completed.

A couple of times, I think they were just waiting for me to complete, as once I complete my submission, the approval/rejection comes in almost immediately

The only occasions on which I've had images rejected during uploading was due to the images' non-compliance with the Fotolia format. The shots were JPEG's but below 4 megapixels. The computer rejects these automatically by not uploading them at all..
